Nobel laureate for literature in 1991, Nadine Gordimer, praised education of the Cuban people and its reading habit of world literature.
The South African writer expressed admiration of the 19th International Book Fair 2010 in which she presented her novel, Un capricho de la naturaleza, edited by the Arte y Literatura seal in Cuba.
This last weekend I observed thousands of Cubans giving great importance to books, words, and ideas, said Gordimer who will soon be 87.
Previously the Nobel laureate author demanded US President Barack Obama to immediately free the five Cuban anti terrorists who have already spent 11 years in jail.
She sent a message to all world citizens to end the torment suffered by Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez, Ramon Labanino, Rene Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandez, and their families.
She referred to meetings with the mothers and wives of the anti terrorists and was able to listen to testimonies of psychological torture they suffer and also their dignity in resisting.
She qualified as cruelty the refusal of the US administration to grant visas to Olga Salanueva and Adriana Perez to visit their husbands, Rene and Gerardo, respectively.
According to specialists Gordimer narrative is an example of steel technique, sober, lacking in flowering and sentimentalisms and exquisite care of formal perfection.
The writer is convinced that "an artist is also a political being constantly aware of what occurs in the world, be it bitter or sweet and cannot prevent being affected by these events."
